Crosby VS Ovechkin

They both joined the NHL in the 2005-06 season, due to a lockout in the previous season. Both 1st overall picks, both entering the NHL with tremendous hype.

Ever since they were rookies, their names have been linked. Even though they’ve defined their respective careers and have matured as players, their names will forever be compared by fans and the media.

So which player is better? Well, it depends on which metrics you’re studying. Crosby has less career season points, but he’s also played 139 less season games. Ovechkin throws his weight around more often than Crosby, and may be the best goal scorer of all-time, but Crosby has two Stanley Cups – which really is the ultimate.

The second round will definitely be an exciting match-up between old rivals, Pittsburgh Penguins VS Washington Capitals. Who will end up on top? Well, only time will tell.

Oh hey Sid, we can fix your stick. You can get back to seizing these opportunities against your rivals!
